CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

A security administrator is reviewing the system logs of a recently compromised server. They notice several log entries with failed login attempts followed by a single successful login attempt from an unfamiliar remote IP address. After the successful login, there are commands executed that elevate the privileges of the newly logged-in user. Which of the following actions should the security administrator prioritize to mitigate the immediate threat?

  • Disable the compromised user account.

  • Conduct an immediate forensic analysis on the server.

  • Review and update firewall settings to restrict remote access.

  • Change the passwords for all user accounts.
